To See or Not to See Each Other Prior to the Ceremony
On the question of whether or not to see your groom before the wedding ceremony, I always advise people NOT to see each other until the music and ceremony are underway and you are walking down the aisle.  There is something so special about that moment when you see each other for the first time at the end of the aisle... you can't get that moment back and you can't fake it.  
 
If you want to do all of your pictures before the ceremony, you can.  Granted, doing so makes my job easier.  However, a typical order of photographs would look like this: 
 
Before the Ceremony - Photograph the bride, bridesmaids and bride's family members.
Before the Ceremony - Separately photograph the groom, groomsmen and groom's family. 
Ceremony starts - Photograph ceremony.
After Ceremony - Photograph collective family, entire wedding party, and the bride and groom together.
Photograph Reception and all components.
 
This is only a suggested order.  If you want to do all photos beforehand, we can do that as well.
